Until he proves otherwise, he is Trump’s man. If Trump trusts him, I trust him.
President Trump went to the football game with him yesterday, so there’s that.
“Can we trust this director of national intelligence?”
Also, how sad is it that this is a legit question?
Your moniker suits your comprehension.
The date is statutory only.
The Constitution does NOT require December 14. It could be any date set by Congress.
December 14 is not carved into constitutional stone.
Irrespective of the date December 14, the Court may proceed with this Emergency Writ and the Electoral College is now ON NOTICE that all of their business scheduled for tomorrow may be set aside because the date December 14 is statutory only and is not part of the Constitution.
To clarify:
The Act of setting a date
vs.
The Date itself.
In the Court’s jurisdiction,
the Act is constitutional, the Date is arbitrary as it is merely statutory.
Should the Court decide to issue this Emergency Writ of Mandamus, the Court does not usurp the powers of Congress to set a new date. Congress may convene to set a new date or in the alternative throw the election to a 50 vote majority of state delegations in the House of Representatives.
Indeed. From the very get go: Trump was denied so many of his first picks for people to add to his cabinet. His true loyal friends face the General Flynn treatment.
Your logic undermines the President's arguments that the state courts modifying mail-in voting statutes for the selection of Electors is unconstitutional.
Thanks for posting the link to the latest Powell lawsuit.
Lots of 14th Amendment stuff and Bush vs Gore rules that have been violated by Georgia.
I believe I am like most people who think of the 14th Amendment as the ‘due process’ and ‘equal protection’ Amendment.
But the first sentence of the 14th Amendment states this: “””No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;”””
For all of us FReepers who live in States other than Georgia, we certainly believe that Georgia has made or has enforced laws within the State of Georgia that have abridged our voting privilege as a USA citizen.
The Fourteenth’s Amendment to the United States Constitution provides:
“”””No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.”””
The rule now is, if you can pull off an elaborate steal by buying off enough grifters holding positions in the states, then you can steal it. Elections are now the rule of the jungle. Obviously, there were flaws in our system that severe internal divisions and foreign influence operations can take advantage of...even to the point of the Constitution becoming a suicide pact.
If other states or the majority don’t like it, I guess we can take to arms in an act of secession or conquest of the internal enemy. I can’t really see any other solution here except bugging out or living with our new chains.
Mo Brooks has said he will challenge the votes in Congress Jan 6th when congress votes to accept the electoral college. He has said everyone should contact their congress person/Senator
Your depth is shallow. There is no undermining.
In PA’s case, statutes were rammed through in defiance of the PA Constitution.
In GA’s case, election laws were changed in defiance of GA law.
And so on.
In each case, the issues have not been adjudicated. The respective courts have dismissed or contrived inappropriate principles, laches in the case of PA.
Don’t know about any “secret force” Eisenhower left.
EO 13848 is not secret.
“””Mo Brooks has said he will challenge the votes in Congress Jan 6th”””
What happens after a challenge? Does the whole house vote and the majority wins?
...a secret force within our United States, established under President Eisenhower, with standing orders that the United States shall never be overthrown under any circumstances.
____________________________________
Can you be more specific?
During the 50s, there were Red Scares and subsequently, those involved were acquitted, some of the then-current laws were nullified, some participants received jury trials.
Seems to me that we (the People/current administration) have ample evidence and even proof of a collusion with foreign powers that affects every institution: segments of Federal LEO, DOJ, courts, segments of the military, press and academe. This colluding group has enabled street operatives to wreak havoc in major cities with elected officials colluding to diminish police response. A Federal election has been subverted.
Invoking The Insurrection Act seems warranted. What *secret force* under what *standing orders* is needed beyond The Insurrection Act?
I’m looking for doctrine, Constitutional or under Federal Law. Something that overrides the present misapplication (IMO) of Federalism.
I do not see anywhere that the Founders anticipated such a wide-ranging sedition that also included collusion with foreign enemies to overthrow the Constitution and the nation as founded. A technological mafiacracy was not foreseen.
I’ve so far looked at The War Powers Act and Article II of the Constitution as applicable to the Executive. I lived through the 50s Red Scare and the resistance from media & academia, especially, to the anti-communism laws of the period. Where else should I look?
GA's failure to follow its state laws has made our votes inferior, unequal.
The Auctioneer example highlights that a counterfeit dollar held by a criminal in GA is made equal to our real genuine legal dollar.
You go to a federal surplus auction. You want to bid on a piece of equipment. You have a competitor that can print all the dollars they want on the spot and the auctioneer will accept the counterfeit dollars but you must show real dollars. Why should you even bother to bid? Are you treated equally in the auction? No, you’re not treated the same.
So you take the auctioneer to court and sue them for treating you unequally, from some bidders they will accept counterfeit dollars but you’re not allowed to counterfeit because you have to obey the law.
At this crooked auction, only crooks can win the bids and take the goods. Is the court going to allow that?
It's secret!
Nixon may have thought he was allowing the fraud in 1960 "for the good of the nation" but even if he had fought it maybe he knew the game was too deeply rigged to do anything about it.
Those enforcing 13848 are the Eisenhower force.
It applies only to foreign takeovers of the United States.
December 18 will be the start.
And you?
As to “ the votes are secret” here are the very public record state-certified electoral votes... and the Electors names. Not secret, as each and every Elector (whose numbers by State are set by Congressional Representation numbers) is recorded as are the supposedly .... supposedly ... legal votes for them from each county in a state.

So Answer A. is incorrect. Go on from there negating each following answer.
She might get an interesting response if she asks that the Supreme Court supeona Gina Haspel and DNI’s Radcliff to come and explain what actually happened in Germanyand Spain...she is shooting for all the marbles...she might as well go all in!
